Next stop Finland?!

The 2014 OBO﻿ccasionals Tour

Yes, it is on.

AUGUST 2 & 3CONFIRMED

The second historical OBOccasionals Tour will take place on the first weekend of August. And this time we're heading to Finland.We've had confirmation from the Finnish Cricket Association that we can play at Finland's new National Cricket Ground in Kerava on Saturday August 2nd and Sunday August 3rd (and Kerava, for those of you who don't know, is just north of Helsinki and easily accessible by train).

And as soon as the dates were confirmed, that was announced on the OBO as well. Clearly it is a good omen that England actually won the (meaningless) match (in a series that was already lost).

Invitations have also been issued through The Guardian's OBO, naturally. To read the full over-by-over report of yet another loss Down Under click on the image above (for a dose of ODI pain) or the one below (for some T20 misery).

What next?

OK, it's not. There's hardly anything there. If I were you I'd consider going straight to the trains page, simply because there's more stuff there.

Not enough?

OK, click here for a touristy presentation of Helsinki. Be advised, however, that the OBOccasionals tour is not likely to take in quite so many churches. And that we offer no guarantees of the weather conditions. Except that it is bound to be warmer in early August than it is in January.
